Cool...I'll look it up...if more places/people start using them, it may be a cool app to have!!

Here's a 2D barcode scanner thing. http://www.scanlife.com/index.html. Tried it on the mogul... works but there's not much I found you can do with it yet.

I found the inigma one, it is i-nigma:

It looks pretty cool, but like anurbanlegend and coz mentioned, it isn't really used widely enough to be a heavily used app yet, but I am thinking that it may be the 'next big thing' and want to keep on top of it....you never know LOL!!!!

Not that I would ever get an iPhone, but they do have some cool/useful apps that are strictly licensed for Apple/non WM devices (loopt, simplify, etc).

I know there are a ton of alternatives for most of the iApps, but sometimes they just offer an easier, better GUI than some WM options.

i was using it for downloads off of freewarepocketpc.net but other than that, i had no use for it. seen those barcodes a few other places but not enough to re-install.

Excellent! I was about to start a thread like this, but first I need to see what the iphone has that I really feel we, as WM users, could use. Half of their apps are just interfaces to webpages (e.g. Facebook, yelp, etc) which are great and shouldn't be too difficult to reproduce in WM....right?

You've also got to realize Apple has all their apps in one convenient to find location - iTunes. If we had every Windows Mobile app in one spot it'd be the same thing for us. Plus, everything Apple does gets so much media hype that if you create one very simple app that does something well a lot of people are going to find out about it.

I have a challenge for any Windows Mobile hatin' Apple fanboys out there: Find an app you love on the iPhone, post its details and a link here and I bet the community will be able to find a Windows Mobile app thats comparable. I think this will give everyone a better understanding of what is and isn't available for WinMo and maybe get some developers pointed in the right direction. Maybe I should start learning C++/C#...
